Taxi in Providence, East Bank Demerara
Providence pickups for the national stadium, Amazonia Mall and the Ramada, and onward to CJIA or Georgetown.
Providence is about 10 km south of central Georgetown on the East Bank of Demerara. It holds the Guyana National Stadium, opened as Providence Stadium for the 2007 Cricket World Cup, the Ramada Georgetown Princess hotel and casino, Amazonia Mall and a campus of Texila American University. GuyWay's own hub, where the cars charge, is at Greenfield, Providence.
Pickups around the mall and hotel
Amazonia Mall, with its supermarket, cinema and food court, is about 800 metres from the village centre. The Ramada and the stadium are next to each other off the public road; set the venue by name and the driver goes to its entrance. For homes, pin your gate.
Providence to Georgetown and the airports
Stabroek Market is about 6 km north, about GYD 3,100, and the Kingston hotels about 8.5 km, about GYD 4,050. CJIA is about 34 km south, about GYD 15,500, 35 to 50 minutes outside the peaks, which makes Providence a practical base before an early flight. Ogle Airport is about 15 km by the Ogle to Eccles highway, about GYD 6,500.
Match days at the stadium
On cricket days, allow 15 to 20 minutes extra each way and schedule your return before the last over, because the crowd leaves at once. The fare stays the one shown when you book.
Students and staff in Providence
Texila American University has its campus here, and many students and stadium staff live in New Providence and along Providence Road. For a regular trip, such as classes at the same time each weekday, set up a recurring ride in the app instead of booking each morning.
